HC Deb 08 March 1983 vol 38 c365W
13. Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many young people in the west midlands were receiving payments under the young workers scheme at the latest available date; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

In the 12 months ending 28 February 15,000 applications were approved in the West Midlands, I am pleased with this response, and I hope employers will continue to play a full part in providing jobs for our young people.
